Derek started Bloguin after six years of web design and marketing experience with his two personal sites, DeROK.Net and TWolvesBlog.com. He decided to use the techniques and tricks he'd learned throughout the years to help other bloggers and also put a dent in his massive amount of medical school debt.
When he's not building sites, creating banners, and fixing code, he can be found saving the lives of sick children in Delaware and Philadelphia. He's currently in the middle of his residency in pediatrics and hopes to eventually specialize in oncology.
Derek's highlight as a blogger came when the Minnesota Timberwolves featured his two music videos on the Target Center scoreboard during the 2003 and 2004 playoffs. The Wolves flew him to Minnesota in '04 to introduce that year's video and he was able to witness the T-Wolves clobber the Nuggets in Game 1 of that series.
In addition to the above interests, Derek also enjoys old-school video games, loves Lost, can quote the Shawshank Redemption by heart, considers himself to be the world's leading expert on The OC, and believes that Bill Belichick is a genius and Tom Brady is his prophet.
Ten Questions:
Favorite Nintendo video game: Super Mario Bros. 3 - Never gets old.

Favorite game announcer/color man: Kevin Harlan - "GOOGLY OOGLY OOGLY BABAY!!!"
Favorite studio Analyst/sportscaster: Stephen A. Smith
Favorite pro team off all time: 2003-04 Minnesota Timberwolves - KG in his prime, Sam Cassell was an absolute assassin, finally breaking out of the first round, Game 7 vs. the Kings... Amazing.
Great sports moment seen in person: The Rock winning the 2000 Royal Rumble in MSG. By the way, you do know that Stephen A. Smith answer was a joke, right?
Most impressive/unbreakable record in sports: Cal Ripken's 2632 consecutive games played streak. Nobody's breaking that.
Best sports movie of all time: Rocky IV - "During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"
Worst product you bought because it had an athlete spokesperson: I didn't buy it, but I did play ShaqFu once. Horrendous.
Greatest sports movie head coach of all time: I'm guessing Coach Eric Taylor from Friday Night Lights doesn't count since it's a TV show, so I'll have to go with Keanu Reeves in Hardball. The unintentional comedy was off the charts.

I've known Derek for 7+ years now through our mutual diseased affliction love for the Minnesota Timberwolves. About three years ago, with nothing more than a dollar and a dream, we started TWolvesBlog.com, which then eventually morphed into the creation that is the Bloguin Network you see today. Dave is a world-class (in his own mind) blogger who can be found on TWolves Blog writing under the pen-name "College Wolf." The name goes back many years in Timberwolves forum posting lore, and he's been known to give many an opinion on all things Timberwolves and sport (and is mostly always wrong).
When Dave is not busy blogging or helping run the day-to-day operations of Bloguin, he may or may not be found putting his double majors in Economics and Business Finance to good use. He may not be a real doctor like Derek, but he'll tell you that he has the prescription to fix what ails the Timberwolves. Whether or not you choose to listen to him is up to you.
Dave also loves movies, music, and playing sports. Doing any of those things for a living would be a dream come true, but furthering the advancement of Bloguin is a close second. He also enjoys spending time with his family and friends, especially his son and future NBA point guard, CW Jr. (Just gotta teach him to play tough "D" and shoot left handed threes at above a 40% clip, and this plan can't possibly fail!)

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , Art Director 
Stephen's work first caught the attention of Bloguin shortly after The Pensblog was recruited to join the network in 2009. Since then, he has become the go-to guy for creating banners for new Bloguin members.
After graduating from the Art Institute in 2002, Stephen landed an Art Director gig at a mid-sized agency in Pittsburgh, PA. As Art Director, Stephen had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects for print, web and broadcast. During that time, a coworker who was equally enthusiastic about hockey introduced him to a Pittsburgh Penguins fan site called The Pensblog. The site really caught Stephen's attention because of the crazy Photoshops the blog would include in their game recaps. After a few months of being a reader, Stephen decided to sent the blog a sketch of a possible mascot and has been a staple of the site ever since. When the economy took a nosedive in 2008, Stephen was one of the many who found themselves without a job.
Rather than taking part time design jobs that paid a little more than minimum wage, he decided to focus on building the Pensblog brand as well as establishing a client base of his own. The gamble paid off as, in his own words, "Losing my job turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me". Most recently, Stephen has been creating custom hand-drawn Sharpie portraits of past and present Penguin players.
